Sprint Brings Truly Unlimited 4G LTE to the New HTC One
Sprint (NYSE: S) today announced plans to carry the new HTC One® smartphone later this year. The new HTC One introduces HTC Sense® innovations that reinvent the mobile experience, including a personal live stream right on the home screen, photos that come to life and an audio experience that features dual front-facing stereo speakers.
The smartphone will benefit from Truly Unlimited? 4G LTE data, text and calling to any mobile with no metering, no throttling, and no overages, all while on the Sprint network. Additional details, including pricing, will be shared closer to availability. Customers can get more information about the new HTC One smartphone from Sprint by visiting www.sprint.com/htcone.
“In a world where technology is constantly evolving, Sprint is really excited to bring our customers the latest in smartphone innovation from HTC,” said David Owens, vice president-Product Development, Sprint. “We feel that combining the advanced features of the new HTC One with Sprint’s Truly Unlimited 4G LTE data plans allows our customers to really take advantage of the data capabilities of the smartphone without having to worry about data caps or throttling making it a big win all around.”
Innovative New Experiences
At the center of the new HTC One experience is HTC BlinkFeed™, a bold new experience that transforms the home screen into a single live stream of personally relevant information, such as social updates, entertainment and lifestyle updates, and news and photos with immersive images so the user no longer needs separate applications to find out what’s happening. HTC BlinkFeed aggregates the newest content from the most relevant and interesting sources, giving it to users at a glance, all in one place, without the need to jump between multiple applications and websites.
Photo bugs who loved the camera features of HTC EVO 3D and EVO 4G LTE will take delight in HTC UltraPixel Camera with HTC Zoe™ – a new feature bringing photos to life showing more personality and emotion than a still photo ever could. HTC Zoe gives users the ability to shoot high-resolution photos that come to life in three-second snippets. Zoe images, photos and videos are then displayed in a unique way in the new gallery, transforming the traditional photo gallery of still images into a motion gallery of memories.
Additionally, the new HTC One features a superior sound capability. Customers who love the Beats By Dr. Dre™ Audio features on HTC EVO™ 4G LTE will now enjoy an even better experience with HTC BoomSound™. BoomSound introduces front-facing stereo speakers with a dedicated amplifier and an amazing full high-definition display that brings users closer to their music, videos, games and YouTube™. Beats Audio integration is enabled across the entire experience for rich, authentic sound. HDR recording uses advanced dual microphones and audio processing to capture clean, rich sound that is worthy of HD video footage.
Crafted with a distinct zero-gap aluminum unibody, the new HTC One also boasts brilliant technical features, including international capabilities, 4.7-inch, full-HD 1080p display, 1.7GHz quad-core processor and Near Field Communications (NFC).

I have a few reactions after following two liveblogs during the event this morning.
Positive: LOVE the IR Blaster, the Camera sounds like a great idea, Front Facing speakers are great, I like the aluminum body. The karaoke app is pretty cool, I think I would use it every now and then.
Negative: I just don’t understand the lack of a SD card slot. That I should pay a hundred bucks more for the 64 gig version when the 32 gigs of memory can be bought for $25 really irks me. Further, if I kill the phone I want to have a chip I can remove to speed up recovery and so that I don’t lose photos, documents, and contacts.
I can live with the integrated battery, I don’t think I care about the flipbook knockoff app.(I removed Flipbook itself recently form my Evo 3D)
I wonder why this phone didn’t get the 5 inch screen of the DNA, they are about the same size physically. Maybe it has to do with the Aluminum body.
I’m up for a new phone in April, we will know a lot more about what is coming by then. I might have to wait for the Motorola X.

I have not owned any other phone than HTC but without the SD card, it is a no go. I cannot always trust the cloud and whenever I have phones that need to be replaced, it is much easier to just swap the card.
